How counseling can help
One of our social workers may refer you to counseling if continued care is required. Psycho-oncologists specialize in helping you during cancer treatment. They emphasize improving quality of life and providing care with dignity, integrity and compassion.
Counseling offers a way to cope with the emotional aspects of cancer. Individual counseling can help you maintain hope, gain perspective and learn ways to live your life to the fullest.
A counselor can also help you talk to your children about your cancer and how to cope with any reduced physical functioning.
